Welcome, my name is Kristyn Hayes and I am your Phoenix and Mesa dog trainer. I have successfully trained thousands of dogs throughout Arizona and I am confident I can help you overcome any issues you have with your dog. I will help you develop a healthy relationship with your dog, one that is based on trust and respect. I thrilled that my son, Joshua Hayes, has joined our business. Together, we can’t wait to help you live a happier life together with your dogs!
Most behavioral issues are learned based on both experiences and environment. That’s why in home dog training is so effective because this is where most behavioral issues occur and it’s where your dog feels the safest. Because your dog can’t speak English and you can’t “speak dog” many miscommunications occur. At Bark Busters, we can teach you how to communicate with your dog in a language he understands.
